By any chance, does anyone on here know of any good books on the Hawker Typhoon. Absolutely love this aircraft and reading stories/info on it. Would greatly be appreciated.

Well, your cheapest and most readily-available resource will be the Squadron Signal book on the Typhoon and Tempest. Its a 40-50 page softcover and retails for less than $15. I know its out of print, but they printed thousands of these so you should be able to find it on Ebay.

The definitive work on the Typhoon, Tempest and Sea Fury is Ken Darling's book from Crowood Press. Good luck trying to find it, though. Its been on my short list for awhile, but I can't bring myself to pay $100 for a book that retailed for $39.00.

"Typhoon and Tempest-The Candian Story", by Hugh Halliday is a good one to have if you want pilot stories and good photos.  Although checking abebooks.com it's gotten really pricey

"Typhoon & Tempest at War" by Arthur Reed and Roland Beamont is also a good one with lots of photos and history.

Not nearly as expensive
